On the morning of October 17, 2014, police responded to reports of gunfire at the McCullough Drive apartments on Lexington’s north side and found 19-year-old Jeffrey Isaiah Jordan Adams dead in a second-floor hallway. He had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene, the city’s 15th homicide that year.

Court documents later described the meeting that brought him to the apartment complex as an arranged narcotics transaction that turned violent. The investigation led to charges against three adults and two juveniles: Nathan Miller, Sayvon Thompson, and Chauncey Anthony Ingram (who was a juvenile at the time), plus another juvenile. In January 2016, Ingram pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, robbery, and tampering with evidence and received a 30-year sentence; Sayvon Azell Thompson pleaded guilty to facilitation to manslaughter, robbery, and tampering with evidence and received 20 years.

Jeffrey was remembered by family as a high school graduate, an all-city football player, a songwriter, and someone with a big heart. Does anyone who knew Jeffrey or who was in the McCullough Drive area that morning have information that could add detail to what happened?
